The mission of the Merkel Independent School district is to
provide, to the full extent of their individual abilities, all students
with the skills of logical, independent, and creative thinking, and
effective communication. Further, as a result of instruction in our
schools, students will acquire a knowledge and appreciation of our
citizenship responsibilities, of our economic responsibilities, and of
our American heritage. In our schools, learning will occur in an
environment of moral values and character, and these characteristics
will be communicated to all students. The accomplishment of this
mission will be characterized by equity, efficiency, and accountability.
